Before we get underway: I'm sorry, we don't have enough headline space to write 'KDE Releases Development Platform, Applications and Plasma Workspaces 4.6.0'. Then again, do any non-anal people every refer to it that way? No? I thought so. In any case, there's a new KDE version out with lots of new features, bug fixes, and performance enhancements.

What the glow is going on? In conclusion - KDE's desktop is very busy, some things don't look right (take the add filter button in the second screenshot, it doesn't look right there, it's raised and just pasted on the bar). Less graphical details and cleaner interface would be my suggestion. But hey, really, you can't please everyone.
